Happy Belated Easter!

Ok, so I am a little late on my Easter wishes, but I have been a little busy and/or lazy lately. Andy and I didn’t do anything on Easter due to having no family in Arizona, but we were ok with that. On Saturday we went to our friend’s house that has an annual Easter get together. I wanted to take food that was festive so I thought of deviled eggs. I have never made them before, but figured they couldn’t be hard to make. I looked up the recipe online and found that it didn’t cause for many ingredients so it was right up my alley. I didn’t factor in how hard it would be to dig out the yoke and then put the yolk mixture back into every egg. Even though it was harder than I thought my eggs turned out pretty good. I was so impressed with myself that I took a picture of them. Yes, there is one egg missing because one out of 24 didn’t turn out right.

So we head to our friends annual Easter festivity, but the only catch is the get together is based on shots. Due to my IBS I do not take shots so I was planning on drinking red wine all night and leaving the shot taking to Andy as he was thrilled for shot night. He brought lemon drops for shots while I brought my deviled eggs. Our friends had all kinds of shots flowing that night and I was prepared to just say no. Unfortunately my plan of a laid back evening of sipping red wine didn’t turn out exactly as planned. I am a sucker who gave into peer pressure when it came to the shots and I definitely paid the price the following day. Sunday was definitely a friendly reminder of why I don’t party hard and why I always say no to shots. As I am getting older I am finding it harder to bounce back from a fun night. I guess a person just needs to be reminded every once in a while. Even though Andy had plenty of shots on Saturday night I was the one laying in bed all day recuperating while it didn’t affect him at all. Well, lesson was learned and that was the last night of shots for me. Easter 2011 will be a shot-less holiday for this lady!
